Magical Girls (Magian: 魔法少女) or Mahou Shoujo are humans who have the ability to transform into alter-ego superhumans and have abnormally enhanced physical strength and agility. Magical Girls have varying characteristics and all have powers that they can use for their own goals based on their own sense of morality. Magical Girls are said to be the ideal versions of their human counterparts; described as strikingly beautiful and the ideal form of femininity. Magical Girls typically also possess a unique outfit upon transformation and go by a pseudo-name to disguise their identity.

While some levels of corruption are considered normal within a Mahou shoujo, If too much corruption occurs they can receive the what Magians refer to as "hoka fever."
